- Mapesoil technology - Regardless the type of grass installed (hybrid, natural or artificial), the pitch drainage is recognized as being of paramount importance to stadium managers and groundsmen. Mapesoil technology is based upon modified hydraulic binders specifically designed for improving pitch drainage, to achieve superior infiltration rates complying with the highest governing bodies requirements (i.e. UEFA, FIFA, USGA). Particularly, Mapesoil drainage for both hybrid and natural grass, being a pervious seamless layer, avoids installation of any pipe pattern beneath the playing area, leading to uniform humidity content in the root zone and consequently to significant benefits reducing the maintenance costs.
